WHAT’S IN MY BACKPACK: SOPHOMORE YEAR OF COLLEGE EDITION

Last time I did a What’s In My Backpack I was a senior in high school. Time for an update! 

Since starting college, I’ve learned to really skim down the things I carry with me, since I do a lot of walking every day (usually around 45min). I pack only the necessary school supplies, and keep a lot of stuff on my laptop so that I can carry less paper. However, things to get through the day/deal with emergencies are always necessary. **All links are Amazon Affiliate links, but all products are things I use and love (obviously, since they’re in my backpack!)**

My backpack is the North Face Women’s Borealis (newer version). It offers great support and has a ton of little pockets, which I love. Patch sewn on by me :)

Details under the cut!

10 unconventional college survival tips

If you have a choice between a morning quickie & some last-minute cramming for an exam (we’re talking like 5 minutes here), only choose the cramming if you haven’t already studied. Arousal of any kind boosts recall; sex relieves stress; stress depletes recall. You do the math.

If you find yourself losing focus in lecture, hold your pencil between your teeth. Facial feedback yields a more alert state. Plus, it makes you happier.

Always carry a toothbrush & travel toothpaste in your backpack. Nothing is worse than sitting through a long lecture with morning breath, and whether you were up all night studying in the library’s 24 hour room, crashing at a friend’s place, or simply running ridiculously late, this toothbrush will be your lifesaver.

If you get periods, consider investing in a diva cup. They’re more cost-effective than pads or tampons after 2-5 cycles (great for students who can’t afford to buy supplies every month or so); they can last you an entire day if necessary; you can put them in ahead of time, which means no more panicking about washing your sheets/pants/favorite underwear/favorite chair in the library; you’ll never be late to class because of an emergency tampon change again.

Morning classes are not the devil. Mid-afternoon classes are the devil. There’s a reason why many cultures have a designated siesta at that time of day! Yes, you’ll have to go to bed a bit earlier in order to get enough sleep, but overall you’ll be far more alert if you schedule your classes early in the day. 

If you have a mountain of work to do between 9pm and 9am the next day and you know you won’t have time to sleep, begin by alternating between readings and problem sets, then move on to writing, then move on to aesthetic tasks (finishing the setup of a presentation, sketching a design for a lab, etc). Frustration is often the largest impedance to getting work done when you’re exhausted, so if you get the big frustration-inducing tasks out of the way before you really start to get sleepy you’re good to go. Writing can be frustrating for sure, but it’s more of a “dammit why doesn’t this sound right” type of frustration than a “dammit why don’t I understand this” type of frustration, and in my opinion that’s way better.

If you’re feeling adventurous, don’t bring your phone to class. At all.

If you’re going to drink, stop studying a little while beforehand. Alcohol impairs memory retention; taking shots immediately after reading 100 pages of your textbook is basically shooting yourself in the foot.

Napping as a study break is actually a great idea, especially if you’re trying to memorize things.

Do your psets alone. If you need help, go to office hours and work with a TA. Do not, under any circumstance, work with other students on your psets unless you’re explaining a concept to them and already understand it well yourself. Working with others allows things to slip by. You might nod and say “oh, that makes sense,” but when it comes down to it you have no idea whether or not you’d be able to replicate it on the test and that’s not good.

🌻 life lately has been good!

🌻 i've been trying my hand at green smoothies. unfortunately, out blender isn't powerful enough, so there were still some tiny spinach pieces in my smoothie haha. still tasted yummy and felt healthy tho!

🌻 also, i've been trying to stick a bit more to a skincare / health routine, including probiotics for my ibs, lotion after showering, niacinamide in the morning, and retinol in the evening.

🌻 mischa and i recently went to ikea with his mom. our plans to move in tgt are slowly taking more shape, we're looking for apartments that will be free anytime after november, and are thinking about which furniture we need. ikea was super fun, we saw and noted some pieces we liked, and had köttbullar :) also, i got some cute cacti!!!

🌻 i'm still working hard on my ma thesis, but i'm trying not to stress out too much over it. next due date to hand in my final draft is aug 30th!

🌻 tomorrow night, mischa and i will be flying to london for one last time until monday, where i'll be handing in my apt key. i'm really looking forward to hitting up brunch places, going to the saatchi gallery, and browsing brick lane market :)

15 things to remember:

1.   that thing you did that was kind of embarrassing and weird, everyone else forgot about that already

2.   you look fine today, if you can’t notice something on your face standing 6 feet from a mirror then nobody else will either.

3.   social lives can go through cycles sometimes, if you feel like your friends are all ignoring you for no reason they’re probably just busy with other things.

4.   if you can’t stop thinking about someone or something, read a book, paint your nails or watch a movie. it won’t solve any serious problems but you will feel better.

5.   listen with the intent to understand, not the intent to reply.

6.   if you want something, go get it. 

7.   drink lots of water, eat lots of fruit, exercise more, go outside, get enough sleep and think positive thoughts.

8.   if you don’t ask, the answer will always be no.

9.   throw away the idea of a perfect tomorrow and live in the moment.

10.  stop comparing yourself to others.

11.  a beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset. It’s a privilege to simply be alive and healthy. Start acting like life is a blessing.

12.  act the way you’d like to be and soon you’ll be the way you’d like to act.

13.  you will change. You’re not the same person you were three years ago. you’re not even the same person you were three minutes ago and that’s okay. especially if you don’t like the person you were three minutes ago.

14.  you don’t have to open the curtains if you don’t want to.

15.  being happy is the most important thing.
